There are lots of amazing tracks to explore across Aotearoa New Zealand but it can be daunting to know where to begin. The Department of Conservation website has a helpful track grading system which means you can filter over 1200 different walk options down to what interests and suits you.
Today we’re talking about tracks in our easiest track grading category. These are great accessible options if you are perhaps keen to try your first day-walk or tramp; maybe you’ve got an injury or on the recovery journey. These are also good options if you need something short to stretch the legs while road tripping, or even as a family-friendly opportunity to immerse young people in nature. There are lots of ideal photo opportunities to get that perfect West Coast shot, and there are many ways for people of all ages and stages to enjoy these walks.
Take the chance to immerse yourself in nature and embrace what has always been there – look, listen, breathe
